Bojek is Polish, Slavic in Origin.

Bojek is a rare Slavic masculine name built on the root boj, “battle” (Proto‑Slavic bojь), combined with the diminutive suffix ‑ek common in West and South Slavic languages (Polish, Czech, Slovak, Slovene). The sense is affectionate yet strong - “little warrior,” “fighter,” or “one of the battle.” It sits in the same semantic field as names emphasizing valor and struggle.

Usage as a given name is uncommon; Bojek is documented more often as a surname in Poland and the Czech lands, with sporadic modern given-name use noted in parts of Slovenia, Croatia, and within Slavic diasporas seeking heritage forms. Related or variant forms include Bojan (m.), Bojana (f.), Bojko/Boyko (m.), and the diminutive Bojček; anglicized spellings like Boyek occasionally appear. It is akin in meaning - though not in etymology - to Polish Woj‑ names (e.g., Wojciech “soldier’s joy”), emphasizing martial spirit and resilience.
